Signiant Helps Manage, Secure, Automate and Accelerate Avid Workflows; Integration to be Demonstrated for the 1st Time at NAB on Booth SU9027
Burlington MA. April 11th 2007 — Signiant®, Inc., the leading developer of digital media distribution management solutions for the media and entertainment industry, today announced that users of Avid® nonlinear editing systems with Avid Standalone TransferManager are now able to further enhance their workflows by taking advantage of Signiant’s digital media distribution management software. The integration of the two technologies will be demonstrated for the first time at NAB on the Signiant booth (booth number SU9027).
Through the native integration of Signiant’s Digital Media Distribution Management Suite into the Avid TransferManager client, users can now benefit from a fully managed, secured, automated and accelerated workflow between Avid systems.
Tom Ohanian, Signiant’s VP of product management explains: “Today, in a typical nonlinear editing workflow whether for broadcast or post, when it comes time to move content, users are at the mercy of the speed, security, and quality of the network link. They will typically have no way of monitoring or managing the available bandwidth or affecting its impact on the transmission of their files.
With the integration of Signiant’s technology into Avid Standalone TransferManager, users not only benefit from Avid TransferManager’s background transfer capabilities and intelligent handling of sequences, but now they can prioritize the transfer of their files with respect to other traffic demands.”
With Signiant’s active bandwidth management features, users are able to monitor and prioritize transfers in real-time from a central Web-based management console, seamlessly integrated into the Avid editing system’s interface. This allows users to maximize usage of the available network resources and realize up to 200% faster transfer rates, regardless of the size and amount of files.
As security is a mission-critical necessity for any file-based workflow, Signiant’s digital media distribution management solution also includes encryption, authorization and user authentication features to secure and protect digital assets in-transit from piracy and data corruption. The Signiant Digital Media Distribution Management Suite also provides proof of origin and certified delivery features.
